Master Lich's Knight Steward

With all kinds of investigative skills, he knows that in many cases, physical disguise can better conceal a person's identity.

Wearing a pedestrian cloak cut from calico, an attire favored by mages and various sorcerer apprentices.After putting on the hood, Lawrence believed that no one would pay attention to such an insignificant person like him, and his small wish of buying the target safely would surely come true...

He really didn't get into any trouble, but it's a pity that he underestimated the meaning of the motto "Magic? That's really high society stuff."

"What? You want to sell me four hundred gold coins for such an apprentice staff?"

The Lich was holding a rudimentary birch staff, which had almost no effect except to guide the mage to concentrate a little bit. Even the gem on the head of the staff was a cheap peridot birch staff, and yelled out of composure.

While waiting hopelessly for the shopkeeper to say that he had misremembered the price and that it was actually four hundred silver pieces, Lawrence tightened his grip on the hand that held the purse—there were only fifty little gold things in it, and they had to be kept. The next part is dedicated to the herb shop—Lawrence didn't have the luxury of visiting potions shops now.

As a result, of course he escaped from the magic item shop amidst the ridicule of the boss.

Liches only know that gemstones are not too rare in this era, but they don't know that the techniques and masters of making magic props are very rare.

"This is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times; the richest of times, but also the most barren of times..." The lich, who was frightened by the price in gold coins, frequently hangs five or six zeros, Inspired the talents of bards.

It hurts to have no money...

I am reluctant to leave the magic supply shop every step of the way. Although the liches use spells below the seventh level, the lich does not need the assistance of a magic wand at all, but the problem is that for all mages, holding a magic wand is not only a symbol of status, but also a long-term magic weapon. The spiritual dependence that has been developed since then!

Be sure to become a millionaire like your mentor!

The lich, whose affection for a wand for hundreds of years is as much as a baby's desire for a pacifier, silently swears.Sure enough, for all souls, the saying "motivation comes from pressure" is true.

Because the Lich doesn't know alchemy, and because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he gave up his original plan to make advanced spell scrolls, so the task of making money fell on the planting that was originally just a hobby.

He carefully selected some promising and not too eye-catching plant seeds──

Thyme, a very common spice crop, is used to extract essence from its yellow butterfly flowers.

But if it is catalyzed by magic to make it bear fruit under the full moon on Midsummer Night, you can get a very valuable spell-casting material "Lotus under the Moon".

The people in the Demeyer continent only collected these mutated thyme seeds in the wild, and they didn't know its source at all.

Qihuadihuang, an effective hemostatic material, the seeds are very cheap.Its medicinal properties and value increase with the growth time, but it is very easy to die young.But the Lich believed that with his own means and the magical soil of magic, this would be an investment with rich returns.

In addition, there are sage, pleated lilac, Wilson's crystal rose, etc., and even several common edible mushrooms--the lich is fully sure to grow them into super poisonous mushrooms.

Harvest!

Having a pleasant chat with the owner of the herb shop, the lich who took out the last coin in his pocket was satisfied.

But when night fell and he was about to go back to the villa, Lawrence suddenly realized that only half of his good mood was due to the big bag of seeds, and the other half was due to the contact with humans!

Not all mages are lonely lonely guys as people imagined. At least the followers of Lawrence the Lich's mentor are quite happy to share research results and discuss topics of interest with their companions.

It is not the work of a smart scholar to work behind closed doors, and after a whole winter with a group of skeletons with no IQ, he began to feel lonely.

"I need a housekeeper, a servant, a research assistant..." the lich muttered blankly, and when he found out, he had drifted into a very desolate cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

Looking at the rough tombstones that are full of dead bones and crumbling here and there, this place is more likely to be a random graveyard.The burial ground of the poor, it's hard to find any good stuff, but the Lich decided to use local materials after thinking about it.

There is no way, it's not a troubled time now, capable people generally have status, if the bones of a status person are stolen, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.After completing a series of reasoning in an instant, the disappointed Lich slumped his shoulders and casually cast a small-scale selection technique.

Looking for a complete skeleton that can withstand the pressure of reincarnation without being dead for too long, isn't this requirement too harsh?But only one was found.

Directly summoning the remains, the Lich reached out and struck a few times—an adult male with strong bones.Judging by the thick and tall bones, he might have been a mighty man in his lifetime, at least he will be very majestic when he is taken out in the future.

In general, Lawrence, who is not demanding, is quite satisfied.

He used a fourth-level reduction technique, put the skeleton that turned into a keychain into his pocket, and went home happily.

Reincarnation is actually a non-attribute magic.

This is also the only fourteenth-level non-dark attribute spell learned by the lich who was still called Hill back then.

The wonderful thing about this spell is that it will determine the attribute according to the medium you choose. The lich who could only use blood sacrifice to reincarnate in the bottomless abyss has only seen the evil version, but this time he is going to have something new.

The primary material is the complete skeleton. The Lich spent a week wasting the last few high-grade gemstones he treasured, plus some abyssal creatures he carefully summoned under the protection of the manor's enchantment...

In short, Lawrence used all possible means to temper the skeleton.

"Light red...Although not as perfect as those dark red ones, this one is closer to normal humans, right?" Of course, he also knows the principle of accepting what is good, otherwise if his servant is injured and his bones are exposed and he is found to be inhuman, it will be bad. up.

Then there is the medium, how to choose is very critical.

Even if he was planning to live in seclusion in Demeyer for a long time, it didn't mean that the Lich would have a good impression of the light gods of Angola. In the end, he chose Gaia, the relatively neutral goddess of life.All life that sprouts from the earth is Gaia's people, and the requirement for reincarnation is that as long as the medium can wrap and cover the bones.

After thinking twice, Lawrence chose a crop with very well-developed roots—Potatoes.

"Don't be angry, this is a super magic potato that I have specially cultivated for a week..."

Lawrence smiled and used those roots to wrap up the veritable pink skull and place it in the center of the magic circle.Then engraved his magic real name on the skull: Hilburton, and then injected magic power, this top-level spell began to operate inconspicuously.

A large amount of magic power was drawn from the lich's body into the magic circle, and the potato rhizome began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, wrapping the bones tightly, and then slowly sinking into the ground.

Soon, the entire magic circle disappeared, and the entire land was empty, except for a small bud that just emerged to prove that the ceremony had been held.

"Huh... I hope there will be a good result."

Reincarnation has great flexibility, or uncertainty.It can be classified as the fourteenth-level spell second only to the divine spell because the most difficult reincarnation spell can achieve the goal of perfectly resurrecting a specific person by continuously refining the "selection conditions" written in the magic words in the array map .

But most of the friends around him are immortal liches, unless they want to experience the feeling of magic vacuum all over their bodies, no one is so boring.

Lawrence's magic circle this time was very simple. He only asked the resurrected soul not to be too old and ugly, to have a little financial management ability and to be loyal enough, equivalent to a ninth-level spell.

Lawrence, who was looking forward to the appearance of a qualified butler, once again ignored how unnatural the top-level spells he used as a lich were in this low-magic world capped at level [-]...

In contrast, he pays more attention to his potted crops that are being stimulated to grow.

"After all, it is not a natural magic plant. It seems that there is no way to condense the magic power in one part... But there is nothing wrong with this, and it can be used for several purposes."

The Lich held his "Magic Wheat Observation Diary" and waved the quill pen. In order to find out the value of the products of his manor before the several acres of wheat fields matured, he did not hesitate to use some of the best-growing potted plants. time spell.Similar notes include "Growth History of Radish Flowers" and "Records of Thyme Transformation", etc., which have already occupied a row of bookcases.

Of course, even if it is accelerated, these plants are still immature. The only thing that has made money for Claus Manor is the mushroom that was finally given to Lawrence as a gift.

In fact, according to the Lich's common sense of the bottomless abyss, highly poisonous mushrooms are much better than edible ones, and the key lies in the corrupt and complex growth environment with toxic components.

And making soil full of miasma and corpse poison is a piece of cake for the Lich, so the day before he performed the reincarnation technique, he went to the Shadow Union in disguise to sell a batch of high-quality poison, and dug up the first time in his life. pot of gold.

"Butler, oh butler... hurry up and grow it."

Lawrence felt a headache when he thought of throwing on the desk, those messy ledgers with how many gold coins he spent and how many gold coins he earned. He looked forward to the stars and the moon, and waited for the potato seedlings to bloom.

Of course, due to his own iniquity, his dear steward will not grow out of the fruit, but he will have to work for his young master to dig the soil himself and bring the life-bearing fruit to life.
